Medellin Reports

[Osteoknot]

I used to be a banker, the clients that called to dispute $1-$5 late fees and finance charges were Always the ones with $100 k+ to several Millions of $ in their accounts, whereas the ones with bad credits with barely few hundreds dollars who are always paying overdraft fees and finances charges never or rarely call to dispute fees.

If you joined this hobby because you failed with women and didn't have any games, or were unlucky with love for whatever reasons, then just learn and try to apply yourselves to become better, remember that practice makes perfect, and just don't argue. Just having stateside money that becomes a lot overseas and suddenly getting laid by women you've never had a chance to bed before does not make you a player, or think you know all about women. You are paying her while the local matcho with games with zero dollars is nutting in her free, daily!

Because believe it or not, many of us in hobby have been married, dated dimes back home, tons of them, fuckd the prom queen and everything in High school and still don't have any problem picking up dates. And for us this is just fun to continue our journey of passion and emptying our intensely filled Libido LOL.

Jajaja, I coined this phrase years ago, "Those who can afford it the least, pay the most. " I was dating a super-hot chick who was straight-up ghetto from Baltimore, and her overdraft charges in her checking account were sometimes more than her income for any given month. I don't judge anyone by race, income, percent body fat, age, number of teeth or tattoos, etc. , but most of the time there is a reason for the season. I don't tolerate racism or stupidity. Ignorance is different, and I am ignorant on many of the topics discussed here, and just as many I don't need to know about. This site has a great feature, the Ignore button, and many times when I log on half the posts are ignored. Not saying those are all bad guys but it keeps me focused and out of the fray and from spending more time here than I should in pointless circular arguments.

There are some great guys here with valuable experiences to share, but the lowest common denominators came in way below my expectations, and I thought I had already factored in the stuff you mentioned, jaja. I believe the heart and soul of this Web site is the silent majority who rarely or never post. That is basically who I am writing for, the guys here who have messaged me to damn the torpedos, keep posting fotos, and continue on full speed ahead. If that makes me a sarcastic, attention whoring, asshole, I don't care! Jajajaaja.

A few random, original, gratuitous fotos that as always, well most of the time, I took myself. Sometime the girls send me a few good ones, too. These are all the same girl, mi novia, around the apartment. She dyes her hair more often that I shower. The second foto, she fell asleep in the middle of masturbating, jaja.

So I book a local travel guide to show me around, and with people reporting drugging of visitors I think it's the right thing to do. Does anyone have experience with a person named (passport dog) he wants $130 USD for 4 days of guiding.

When I stayed at the Mansion, one of the guests introduced me to a guide who I believe also said he was a professor. I have his contact info on Whatsapp. Send me a PM and I will provide it to you.

Mojo thanks for always your awesome reports on this site, did I not here at one point energy building completely stopped all quests in building? Has it went back to normal or did it never change?

I am not positive but I think you might be confusing Energy and Blux, it was a while back during the holiday weekend lockdowns that one BM reported to me that while he would have preferred to stay at Blux they had stopped allowing guests in. So he stayed at Energy because they were but they were not allowing them during the lockdowns.

Sounds like being drugged would be cheaper.

I believe that was Blue that went chica unfriendly.

I thought that giving myself about 2 months on the ground, I'll come out owning a piece of Colombian paradise / real estate. I'm almost there! Haha. Within a week of landing in Medellin back in April, I picked out a brand new 3 bed /2 bath 28th floor apartment with amazing view for about $80 k USD or about 300 million pesos in Bello. Six weeks later, the only issue is a discrepancy in the registration papers of the storage utility space that comes with the apartment. A very minor issue, but I can't sign the deed until it's corrected. Apt purchase includes parking space that can fit a car or 2-3 motos. I gave power of attorney to my lawyers so they can sign any paperwork while I'm away for the next few weeks. Money from US to Colombia has been transferred, converted, and registered legally to a Colombian investment account. The law firm I hired were very prompt, professional, and proactive in requesting, checking and analyzing all the paper work pertaining to the apartment. Hope that when I get back in July, I'll have keys on hand and next steps would be to furnish the damn thing. I'll do my best to make it into a classy and comforting bachelor pad (wink, wink)z

Makes complete sense to stay at hotel M for your first trip. I did too 8 years ago. Have a great time. You will have friendly mongers that will show you the ropes. Other hotels are for more independent mongers or for married mongers who need a legit tourist / business hotel address for people back home. He he. :-)

What do you like about haven over hotel M?

Pros vs Cons for both.

I'll be staying at Hotel M for my first trip.

Is there a website for Haven?

I've never stayed at Haven hotel, however I've been to Hotel M. It appears the basic price is about the same. Judging from the website the rooms are nicer at Haven, although Hotel M has done some remodeling since I was there.

For a first time visitor I would recommend Hotel M over Haven. It will give you the opportunity to build up a list of girls and there will be Medellin vets to show you the ropes. For a return visit Haven looks like an excellent option to me. If I didn't have other plans I would probably be staying there a few days next week.

That would annoy the hell out of me too.

I was in Guadalajara few weeks ago. Stayed at RIU and Westin. The elevators there need a key card so the girl can't come up unless you go down. That is so annoying. I tried leaving my extra card with the bellboy so he can send the girl up. H was happy to do because of the tips. Some supervisor saw it and put a stop to it. Grrrr.

I am going to be in Medellin sometime in June. Likely I will stay at Haven at least for a few days. I will ask the manager why they are doing that to some guests and not all. Could be good intel.

I stayed at Haven and its a good hotel but there's one really annoying guy that works night shifts that forces you to come downstairs and sign the girl in instead of just calling and sending her up. The rest of them just call or just send them up once they check the cedula.

... and there is a shopping center about 100 meters down the hill on the opposite side of the street that has among other things 3 ATMs, a pharmacy and a selection of restaurants, such as Japanese (Kabuki), Argentinian (La Pampa Parrilla), a casual fare lunch spot called Pecositas, a fast casual Chinese place (123 wok), a good burger place (Fire House) , Subway, Papa Johns Pizza, and an El Bunuelo (Colombian donuts)

Love 123 Wok. May fave Asian food place in MDE. Can't beat their Arma Tu Wok as a takeaway.

And I agree with 100% of what Mojo said. Every place has its pros and cons. Thank you for highlighting the positives of Energy. Well said.

I agree with 90% of what Vitrea says, as for location and amenities, Hotel Haven is by far better, and the location cannot be beat for walking out the door and having walking distance access to several restaurants, shops, bars, etc etc, I just wanted to add that anyone who finds themselves looking at an Airbnb in Energy for whatever reason,

There is a good security team that works the building (head of security was walking around with a cannon in his holster that looked like it might be a Dessert Eagle). They are thorough about checking the chicas Cedulas.

While it is nothing like being at Hotel Haven for being able to walk to so many restaurants, there is a Carulla supermarket about 300 meters south (I walked it and I am fat, old and out of shape), and there is a shopping center about 100 meters down the hill on the opposite side of the street that has among other things 3 ATMs, a pharmacy and a selection of restaurants, such as Japanese (Kabuki), Argentinian (La Pampa Parrilla), a casual fare lunch spot called Pecositas, a fast casual Chinese place (123 wok), a good burger place (Fire House) , Subway, Papa Johns Pizza, and an El Bunuelo (Colombian donuts)

The views from the roof and the apartments on the high floors are remarkable as evidenced by the photos below that were taken from there.

Thanks man, very appreciated. Nothing beats a daily swim / eat / fuck / swim / eat / fuck sleep cycle. I know, nobody wants to read my crap, except maybe for the passionate swimmers amongst us. They perfectly understand.

Very annoying I agree, but nothing a 5 $ tip every now and then, would probably would fix that problem! Did you try this? Weird because sounds like it's only him doing it, he's probably looking for something!

I am taking my 2nd trip to Medellin shortly.

First time, I stayed at Mansion. It went well.

I hope to stay there again for part of the trip. However, they are already sold out for some of the days I will be in Medellin.

As an alternative, I am considering booking Energy Living on Airbnb or Hotel Haven.

Which do you believe is better? I have never been to either place. Which is better neighborhood? Are they both in safe areas? Are they far from the Mansion?

Howard.

I have stayed at both. It is not even a comparison for me. Hotel Haven for sure. They have actual amenities and central in location. Energy is a nice building but not walking distance to anything. Also the security of being in a good hotel can't be beat. I used to be an Airbnb guy in Medellin but not anymore. Tired of Potrero BS. Now I chose a girl friendly hotel with views.

Over the years, I wrote many times about this. I go to Medellin for girls, weather and views. My trips are short but frequent. I keep the hassle to minimum.
